A huge heartfelt thank you to all that purchased from me this holiday in support of Ingamo homes! Every penny from each purchase went to . I had a goal of $500 but managed to surpass it and was able to donate $600! I’m not sure how I even pulled of making the items in time and selling them, but I am very thankful for the support from those that made purchases.

This cotton/linen sage beauty made its way to another beautiful bride. We took bridal robes to the next level with this dress inspired piece. The great thing is she can wear it after as a dress as well. Its vintage bohemian vibe suits the beautiful creator/owner of perfectly and I cannot wait to see photos of her gracing this custom piece.

I can see so many beautiful creations being made in this graceful green dress. Sadly she was unable to get it by her wedding day (thanks to for bringing to Quebec by accident and my 10 week old daughter for distracting my focus).

I love you so much and it was an honour to create this custom piece for my beautiful friend!

Fabric: Waterfall cotton/linen blend from

Long post alert!!!

Looks whose back! It’s been quite a while since posting. Haven’t had much time for fun sewing with Covid. We were busy for a while churning up masks to donate to PSW’s during the first bit. After making almost 500, a break was needed from masks.

Now that the mask situation is more under control, we are happy to offer masks for “fashion” and fun.

The little guy in the first photo said it best, “Masks are the new party hat!” As he gears up for his social distance party, instead of party hats they get matching, theme coordinated masks! In this case video game character .

We did some fun custom grad ones for a group of ladies to celebrate grad safely, with coordinating “proud” family member specific ones.

Another option that’s being requested are masks with your business logo or slogan.

Multiple styles are available and prices will vary according to style, customization, and fabric. The favourite style so far are the 3D ones, which you can find by swiping through. They are the most pricy but very breathable and don’t touch your mouth at all and cause minimal fogging for those who wear glasses. All masks come with adjustable thin elastic straps for ears so you can fit to your head.

Never thought I’d be making custom fashion masks when I got into this but when life hands you lemons, plant a seed and grow a lemon tree!

For those sewing ferociously to help Front Line Workers, that wish to speed up their production. This method has vastly increased the numbers I am able to whip up. I also like the fit better than the others I have done. 🙂

By seeing a lot of videos and patterns, plus trial and error, this is the method of making masks that I am able to do the quickest. I hope it can help those ...

A call to arms! For those sewers out there in Ontario. Please join this group and help them provide more masks to frontline healthcare workers. More helping means more safe workers! If you can’t sew please share the group with those you know that can! It takes a village! Stay safe everyone. Their Facebook link is below.

I work the best to . That’s all I ever heard when I was with my dad. Every morning on the weekends it was playing, in his car always. It’s just in me, and my main go-to when I need to do any kind of work. How about you? What’s your best working music?

It’s my birthday and I’ll sew if I want to! Here she is! The ever so metallic I finished to wear for my birthday. It was my first pattern. It was so easy to work with. I used the half circle add-on for the skirt and I drafted some cute short sleeves to go with it because...winter! It’s a lovely thick stretch knit with a metallic check. I cut the yoke on the bias to jazz it up. It also fits wonderfully, I had minimal adjustments. I’ll post those later!

The next project was put on hold in order to help out the sweet critters in Australia. All of this fabric was generously donated and I’ve been busy sewing these pouches up. Just sent out 44 of them (11 shells and 33 liners). Giving back is a huge part of this brand, and I’m happy the professional skills I’ve acquired are able to play a part in helping. I believe if I have the ability to help others then it is my duty to do so when I can. Stay tuned for the shiny party dress. (It May be the blurry one in the background)

I have been WAITING to get my hands on the patterns in this envelope! I had them printed in just the right size from and they were delivered within 3 days of ordering! The quality is amazing! And the amount of time I saved from not tracing the right size then cutting it out from that, to just cutting! It’s amazing! Not only that, there is a sweet handwritten note in the package! This is why I love supporting local business! Thank you you gave me the gift of time! And so excited to start making these patterns! Thank you for offering digital A0 with your patterns! Keep your eyes peeled for the first one soon!

I figured I’d end this year off showcasing my crown jewel of projects thus far. This beauty made her debut at a wedding this past weekend. The photos are hard to tell the true colour. It’s a deep peacock green/blue. The appliqué has the exact same colour in it, as well as champagne and a bit of a gunmetal in the mix. The belted appliqué was the best finishing touch! Paired it with some champagne sparkly shoes! Since this was 100% custom, it fits like a glove! Happy New Year everyone! Have the best night and be safe! &stuart2019

Not one apron has ever been alike! I love creating special things that are purely one of a kind. I meticulously pick out fabrics that will look nice together. It’s so fun, but it can be very time consuming. However, the results make the effort so worth it! These are two custom beauties a client ordered over the holidays! The only part that bums me out is not getting to watch the recipient open them. Even not knowing who they are, these are a piece of the maker, knowing their happy is the main goal!
